The saga continues. The engine is now successfully out of the truck but try as I might, I could not get it to mate up to the engine stand. When I was able to get the four adjustable brackets loosely attached to the stand, I was not happy with the placement of the two lower bolts as they were uncomfortably close to the rear end cap and bearing. Rather than risk fate, I used my 1,000 pound hydraulic cart to partially support the engine while still attached to the engine hoist.
My question is, has anyone found or used an adapter plate to mate to an inline six engine to a fairly standard engine stand? Where can I find an adapter plate like that?
